Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust: In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, tossing with a fork until the dough holds together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling: Scramble the eggs in a pan until just set. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool, then stir in the cheese and bacon.
Assemble the Hand Pies: Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Spoon some filling onto half of each circle, leaving a border. Fold the dough over the filling, crimp the edges with a fork, and cut a few slits on top for venting.
Bake: Place the hand pies on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Let the hand pies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious breakfast hand pies!

Notes

You can customize the filling with your favorite ingredients like sausage, veggies, or different cheeses.
These hand pies can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for a quick breakfast option.
